Thank you so much for this guidance. After adding these WARNs two of them
were actually encountered and revealed that the interrupt context was retrieved
too early in vfio_pci_intx_mask() and vfio_pci_intx_unmask_handler() in
the scenario where these calls are triggered via config writes while INTx is
disabled. This will be fixed in the next version.
